It is found that the relativistic particles tend to dislocation in comparison with the non-relativistic particles with the same disorder strength. More intriguingly, we reveal that the massless Dirac particles are entirely delocalized for any energy due to the inherent chiral symmetry, leading to a well-known result that particles are always localized in one-dimensional system for arbitrary weak disorders to break down. Furthermore, we propose a feasible scheme to simulate and detect the delocalization feature of the Dirac particles with cold atoms..", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-05-13T12:29:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.23.An", "05.60.Gg", "03.65.Vf", "03.75.Lm" ], "keywords": [ "relativistic dirac particles", "disordered one-dimensional systems", "cold atoms", "delocalization", "implementation" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "May", "volume": 102, "number": 21, "pages": 210403 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 824213, "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102u0403Z" } } }
